Recenzii
'This is the first detailed study of an illustrated bestiary from the Islamic world. It sets this 13th-century Arab manuscript squarely within the context of both the Islamic tradition of animal lore and of classical and medieval Christian learning in this field. It is also a meticulous investigation and analysis of the art-historical aspects of this masterpiece of Islamic book painting. As such it is a pioneering and erudite contribution to Islamic art and literature alike.' - Robert Hillenbrand
“…the case she builds over the course of her book is very well documented and persuasive.” - Sheila R. Canby, in: Journal of the Royal Asiatic Society, 22 (2012), pp 599600 [doi:10.1017/S1356186312000363]
“The book is a significant contribution to the field and will remain a keywork for many years to come.” - Alison Ohta, in: Bulletin of the School of Oriental and African Studies, 75 (2012), pp 569570 [doi:10.1017/S0041977X12000663]
"...important contribution to the study of the arts of the Islamic book." - Jaclynne J. Kerner, in: caa.reviews December 27, 2012 [doi:10.3202/caa.reviews.2012.149]
"This is a wonderful book, or rather a book full of wonders. Anna Contadini has unearthed and opened up a treasure chest for us, and with a rare combination of artistic perception, historical knowledge and philological skill she is also able to explain to us the various marvellous objects it contains. […] In sum: a truly splendid achievement." - Oliver Kahl, in: Journal of Semitic Studies 58.2 (2013), 426-429
"This study is striking in both its clear organization and wealth of information. [...] ...innovative approach [...]: the illustrations should be considered an integral part of the text, the manuscript as a whole artefact, within which text and images operate in a complementary fashion as to convey complex messages." - Lucia Raggetti, in: Journal of Islamic Manuscripts 5 (2014), 71-77
“Anna Contadini does a brilliant job in introducing new approaches to the production of the colour plates of the Na’t folios; not only is she systematic, scrupulous and thoroughgoing in her technical analysis of the 86 paintings - she associates image to text bringing her erudition and insight, and she comprehensively investigates their interaction.” - Stavros Nikolaidis, in: Journal of Oriental and African Studies 24 (2015) 468-471
'Der Verfasserin ist mit der vorliegenden Publikation ein großartiges Buch gelungen, das – kenntnisreich verfasst – detailliert, aber ohne Weitschweifigkeiten, alle Aspekte in Hinblick auf die Illustrationen (die natürlich im Vordergrund stehen), aber auch zahlreiche Textfragen behandelt. Es sollte daher in keiner kunst- und kulturwissenschaftlichen, aber auch in keiner arabistischen Bibliothek fehlen." - Herbert Eisenstein, in: Wiener Zeitschrift für die Kunde des Morgenlandes, vol. 106 (2016)
